ALBANY, N.Y. -- People who have fun at work and enjoy their jobs tend to be highly productive.

Kingston High graduate Tay Fisher has proved that point many times over since starting his professional basketball career with the Harlem Globetrotters in the fall of 2009. The most recent example was a barrage of 10 consecutive four-point (35-foot) baskets during a Jan. 5 game in Winnipeg, Canada.

Fisher graduated from Kingston in 2004 after setting a slew of records as a scholastic player. Along with scoring 2,119 career points to establish school and Section 9 marks, he notched a state-record 334 career 3-pointers.

His four-year career at Division I Siena College ended on a high note in the 2008 NCAA tournament. Fisher and the Globetrotters play this Sunday at the Times Union Center in Albany where the Siena Saints play their home games.

Between followers from Kingston and Siena, Firefly Fisher (his Globetrotter name) will be surrounded by a legion of friends and family.

"I always like coming back to Albany," Fisher said during a Jan. 11 promotional visit. "I wouldn't be on the Globetrotters if I hadn't played here."

Siena pulled a shocking upset of Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Fisher basked in glory with a 6-for-6 performance shooting 3-point baskets.

"My campers (from the Tay Fisher Fundamental Basketball Camp) get to watch me play now," Fisher said. "A lot of them were too young to remember me in high school or college.

"I like to show my teammates the support I have. Everybody likes to come back home."

Fan involvement for the 2013 "You Write the Rules" World Tour provided Fisher the opportunity for his record-breaking effort in Winnipeg. Shooting four-point baskets during the first quarter was an option fans selected in online voting.

"Fans vote for what they want to see," Fisher explained. "They can also choose two balls at once, double points, penalty box and playing five on six.

"They vote all the way up to game time. We're putting our game in the hands of the fans."

The four-point shot was introduced by the Globetrotters for the 2011 tour. Four-pointers were allowed in the final 3:00 of each quarter.

Fisher established four-pointer team records in 2011 with 354 for the season and 16 in one game.

"I probably made seven or eight in a row when I made the 16," he recalled. "I only had the first quarter for the game I made the 10 straight.

"After I made five in a row, the crowd stopping clapping. I don't know why.

"It was strange."

Lack of noise made no difference to the 5-foot-9 Firefly continuing to light up the basket.

"I was so into it because of my teammates," Fisher said. "My teammates were so thrilled for me.

"It means something because they see you every day."

Fisher has an active streak of 25 straight games with at least one four-pointer.

Streak shooting has been Fisher's trademark since his varsity career with the Tigers began as a freshman.

"In my career, if I make one, I make a lot," he said. "Eight in a game was the most 3-pointers I had in high school.

"The six against Vanderbilt was my most in college. The four-point shot is 10 feet behind the NBA 3-point line."

At Winnipeg, the Globetrotters had 100 points by halftime on the way to a 159-108 victory over the Global Select. Fisher's 11 4-pointers and 44 points in the quarter were team records.

"People think of dunking and fancy dribbling when they think of the Globetrotters," Fisher said. "We wanted to keep that and showcase the shooters on the team with the 4-pointer.

"The Globetrotters have been around 87 years. We do things for the fans because where would we be without our fans."

Before the current tour began the day after Christmas, the Globetrotters went on their 11th Military Holiday Tour.

"This was my second military tour in four years," Fisher said. "We went to Afghanistan for the first time."

With the addition of Afghanistan, the Globetrotters have visited 121 countries and territories. Other stops on the latest military tour came at Kuwait, Bahrain, Djibouti, United Arab Emirates and a U.S. aircraft carrier.

One of Fisher's favorite moments of the trip involved a reunion with a former Kingston classmate in Afghanistan.

"I ran into old high school buddy Joriann Garcia," Fisher said. "He presented me with a beautiful framed plaque."

Camouflage uniforms and basketballs were used for the military tour.

"If you can make troops smile and laugh, you're doing a good thing," Fisher said. "I wanted to ask them for their autographs.

"They're the ones making us safe. We show them how much we appreciate it."

The No. 3 Firefly jersey was added to Globetrotter merchandise for sale this year.

"I'm hoping the jersey will be available here in Albany when we play," Fisher said. "I feel like it's getting better every year I play for the Globetrotters."

Fisher will be one of participants during a one-hour Globetrotters special on ESPN that airs 5 p.m. on Feb. 10. The program will re-air twice on ESPN2, on Feb. 17 at 11 a.m. and March 2 at 11 p.m.

Despite the physical demands of a five-month tour, Fisher desires a long career.

"It's hard traveling and playing every day," he admitted. "You want to stay consistent to give the fans your best.

"I'm 26 and still feel good. When you dive and slide on the floor dribbling, it takes a toll."

Records are important to Fisher, but leaving a good impression means more than anything.

"I want to make sure people leave knowing Firefly," he said. "I want to be remembered.

"Curly Neal is my mentor, and people still remember him. People remember you for how you treat them."
